My cousin is visiting from Colorado and I’m looking for a good place to take him for a brunch.

Either of the Screen Door restaurants or Mother's Bistro in downtown Portland.

The Benson used to have an amazing brunch but that's gone.

...

Better idea, drive to Seattle for brunch and catch a Mariners game.

My favorite breakfast place in Portland is the Cameo Cafe on 82nd and Sandy. But it's a greasy spoon diner place, maybe it's not an impressive spot for a guest. Recently had brunch at Urban Farmer at the 9s that was really good.

Franks Diner or the Otis Cafe

Jam on Hawthorne is fantastic, and very Portland. If you want a crunchy granola Portland experience, Paradox Cafe on Belmont.

If you want trendy, Cadillac Cafe

I have always like Elmer’s Breakfasts. Decent portions and variety. Locations kinda suck though. Nothing special like Cadillac Cafe near Hollywood dist.

I’ve been to Franks but it was in Spokane in a boxcar. Is there one in Portland?

I actually drove over a Turkey Vulture in front of the Otis cafe probably back in 16’

I dont like Mother's Bistro. Too fancy. Was not a fan of their biscuits and gravy.

Give me biscuits and gravy with cheap powder Gravy, cheap biscuits, and spend on the meat.

My wife likes Brix Tavern in Portland, Eastburn in Portland or Hive Social in Oregon City.

I miss Shari's stuffed hashbrowns.

Screendoor on 23rd or so and Burnside. Cadillac Cafe on NE Broadway by Lloyd Center. Pine State Bisuits.

I just had those for the first time about a month before Shari's closed. BOMB!

I bet those truck stops in Troutdale can hook you up.

You see they are going to return? Swear I saw that yesterday they are coming back.

For real. They were the bomb diggity.

Troutdale has a food truck station now that is amazing. Lots of good choices there.

McCrae's in Gresham is good for breakfast.

I bet you saw that on April 1st. Sounds like a April fools headline or tweet.

Cosign on Hive Social. Having tried all the brunch spots, it's easily the best.

2nd is Jam.

And yes, the troutdale food cart slaps hard. They have a montage there. Need I say more?

What is “troutdale”?

It is where Dame's favorite Thai restaurant was.

Toast, Jam on Hawthorne, Screen Door, Mother’s Bistro.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

As an avowed East-sider, I second McCrae's. Also, Gateway Breakfast House is always strong (If it's good enough for Obama, it's good enough for you).

Amazing food there.

If your family member is into Twilight, you can get breakfast at the Carver Cafe.

 

[riverman]

I'll bet the Blazers PF has a mean breakfast spread.

Took my daughter summer of 20 on our family Twilight filing locations tour! Had a great time.

Nobody is gonna mention the HotCake House at the base of the Ross Island Bridge? Sacred ground!
